-- They can if the gravitational force of attraction is greater than
the electrostatic force of repulsion between them.
-- They also can if they're connected by a rubber band that has been
stretched.
-- But if the only force between them is the electrostatic force due to
their charges, then they must always repel, because their charges have
the same sign.

What are the two like charges?
a positive and a positive or a negative and a negative. Object with the same charge. Like charges repel each other.
What does a positive and neutral object do?
A positive object is attracted to negative objects and repelled by other positive objects. A neutral object does not attract or repel other objects based on their charge.
What repels electric charge?
A negative charge will repel a negative charge.
Why do negative and negative charge repel when they get close to each other?
Negative charges repel each other because they have like charges. In other words, the negative charges have an excess of electrons, which causes them to push away from each other due to their similar charge. This repulsion is governed by the principles of electromagnetic force.
Will a ball with a positive charge attract or repel a ball with negative charge?
A ball with a positive charge will attract a ball with a negative charge because opposite charges attract each other according to the laws of electrostatics.
What does a charged object react to a uncharged object?
A charged object will attract or repel an uncharged object through the electrostatic force. The direction of the attraction or repulsion depends on the types of charges involved (positive or negative) on the objects.
Does a positive and an uncharged charge attract or repel?
A positive charge and an uncharged charge will attract each other. This is because the positive charge will create an electric field that will induce a separation of charges in the neutral object, causing it to become polarized and attract the positive charge.
What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an uncharged object?
A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.
What does a neutral and a negative charge do?
A neutral charge means that the object has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a balanced electrical state. A negative charge means that the object has an excess of electrons, leading to an overall negative electrical charge. Objects with a negative charge can attract positively charged objects and repel other negatively charged objects.
What happens when a charged insulator is placed near an uncharged metallic objects when they repel each other?
When a charged insulator is placed near an uncharged metallic object and they repel each other, it is because the charged insulator induces a charge separation in the metallic object. The like charges in both objects will repel each other due to the presence of the induced charges. This effect is a result of electrostatic forces acting between the charged and uncharged objects.
What is a negative charged object?
A negative charged object is an object that has an excess of electrons, giving it an overall negative charge. This excess of electrons causes the object to repel other negatively charged objects and attract positively charged objects.
If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge the comb will become charged by?
induction. The negative charge on the object will repel the electrons in the metal comb, causing them to move away. This will leave the comb with a positive charge.
What does a charged object do to another charged object?
It depends on what the charge is on both of the objects. If object 'A' is negative and object 'B' is negative, the two will repel or move away from each other. This is the same if both 'A' and 'B' are positive. However, if one is positive and one is negative, then the two will attract, or move closer.
What BEST describes an object with a negative electric charge?
An object with a negative electric charge has an excess of electrons compared to protons, resulting in an overall negative charge. This causes the object to repel other negatively charged objects, attract positively charged objects, and interact with electric fields in specific ways.
Why does an object repel?
An object repels if it has the same type of charge (either positive or negative) as the other object it is interacting with. Like charges repel each other due to the electromagnetic force that pushes them away from each other.
What are the two like charges?
a positive and a positive or a negative and a negative. Object with the same charge. Like charges repel each other.
What does a positive and neutral object do?
A positive object is attracted to negative objects and repelled by other positive objects. A neutral object does not attract or repel other objects based on their charge.
